FAQ

Q: What if the MBTA wants to build a light-rail or bus line in the future?A:
The land will continue to be owned by the MBTA and the lease will allow
them to re-purpose the right of way with sufficient notice. The spur
is privately owned.

Q: How much will the trail cost to develop?A:
Nearly all of the cost to remove the old rails,
ties, switches, debris, and overgrowth and build a smooth, stone dust
surface will be paid for by the salvage value of the steel, as has been
done in a number of other communities. We are fundraising to add additional amenities (e.g. benches, kiosks and garden areas) to the trail.
